Probing former patients and deaths in suspects' families

(corrects Friday to Wednesday).
Varese, November 30 - Investigators in Busto Arsizio,
just northwest of Milan, said Wednesday that there may be more
victims than previously thought in the case of five suspicious
deaths that led to the arrests on Thursday of physician Leonardo
Cazzaniga and his lover, nurse Laura Taroni.
The probe is widening after authorities on Thursday seized
considerable documentation regarding the deaths of patients
treated by Cazzaniga at the Saronno city hospital ER in recent
years.
Investigators are also looking into the death of Cazzaniga's
father, who died in the Saronno hospital ER while Cazzaniga was
on duty, and the death of Taroni's mother, with whom they said
Taroni had a bad relationship.
Cazzaniga, 60, who is also described as an anesthetist, was
arrested in the deaths of four patients at the Saronno hospital
as well as his lover's husband.
